Cuttack (Odisha) – “The Honourable Judges need to be very careful what they say during Online Hearings, as what happens in the Court is extremely serious stuff. The live streaming that we are doing has a flip side. What the Judges speak during the hearing is live-streamed to the nation. We, as judges, need to be trained because every word that we say in the Court is up in the public realm”, advised the CJI, DY Chandrachud while inaugurating a two-day National Conference on Digitisation, Paperless Courts, and e-Initiatives at Cuttack.

The Chief Justice of India added,
Most High Courts are doing live streams on YouTube and the digital infrastructure that is intended to create paperless and virtual Courts. CJI cited a clip that went viral of the Patna High Court judge asking an IAS officer why he is not appropriately dressed. He also mentioned another clip regarding the Gujarat High Court Judge asking a lawyer why she is not prepared with her case.
How can it be expected from the Honourable Justices that they pronounce a judgment after reading long 15,000 sheets of judgments from the Tribunals ? Hence, the digital infrastructure that is intended to create paperless and virtual Courts is a necessity.
